Two weeks ago-
Guy in his late teens at gas pump: That's a wicked machine, I bet I could beat you off the line.
Me: (I look over at his beat up late 80s chevy S-10) I bet you probably could, but I doubt you could beat me going around a corner. (I'm all grown up nowadays, and don't street race anyways.)
Guy: Is that a Z? That thing looks like a beast, be sure to take good care of her (while completely ignoring his girlfriend in the passenger seat).
Me: I will, you do the same. (Her being the jealous looking girl next to him.)

I think he totally missed what I was saying. You'd have thought he'd never seen a car before.
